Fresh Air for the Mire-Breathing Hypothesis: <i>Sphagnum</i> Moss and Peat Structure Regulate the Response of CO<sub>2</sub> Exchange to Altered Hydrology in a Northern Peatland Ecosystem

<i>Sphagnum</i>-dominated peatlands store more carbon than all of Earth’s forests, playing a large role in the balance of carbon dioxide. However, these carbon sinks face an uncertain future as the changing climate is likely to cause water stress, potentially reducing <i>Sphagnum&l...
